Joe was always helpful when parts were not readily available . this made a big difference in getting the aircraft out on time. We still have monthly get-together s to remember old friends and tell old war stories

Joe will surely be missed by me. He was a pleasure to work with when he was at Cessna and friend upon his retirement.
